GOD is so mysterious - part 4

No one can fight or imprison the righteous. Prison is a prison for the thieves. For the Gandhis and Mandelas, it is a place for reflection and worship. Therefore, there need not be fear to walk on the path of righteousness.

Like all GOD's creatures, enemies have a purpose in this world. They offer a criticism of one's conduct (albeit unsought) that is not always provided by friends. Nations can war against each other or they can coexist in frigid isolation. But our prayers must be that they learn, finally, to live as brothers. Because the purpose of life is to be useful, compassionate and responsible towards others, and above all, to have made some difference that you lived at all.

The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time. Any day we decide to take our destiny in our hands, and spread the values of humanity, is as good as another. But keep in mind; those who know the truth are not equal to those who love it, and those who love it are not equal to those who live it.

The moment one commits oneself to a good cause, Providence moves also. A stream of events issues from that commitment, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. It is something all of us can do: we can give our fellow man a helping hand.

Extended your helping hand towards other fellow men. Be ready to commit your self to three hard tasks: returning love for hate; including the excluded; and sharing what you own. And ask GOD to grant you the serenity to accept the things you cannot change, the courage to change the things you can, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.

Respect all religions, because they are all paths towards GOD; but also remeber that paths are not GOD.

Were I given a thousand tongues instead of one, a thousand times I would say, and say again, The Lord of the universe is One. Although we may have different holidays and different prayers, but we have the same GOD which means we are more the same than we are different.
